Hello,

Coming from South Asia and looking at ESEAP, I am not at all excited considering the geographical representation of the committee as per Wikimedia regions[1], excluding WMF appointed candidates who will represent WMF instead of the regions itself, we have
I am so surprised to see only 1 representation from ESEAP which has such a thriving group of affiliates and which had talked about and tried to materialise to build a hub in the region so passionately. If movement strategy wants Wikimedia to reach the next billion users in future, they are in South Asia and ESEAP and without hearing the voices from those regions, that target will be very hard to achieve.

Anyway, good luck and best wishes for the drafting process. Hope it will echo our voices.

Dear movement colleagues,


I am happy to announce that the Movement Charter Drafting Committee election and selection processes are complete.


The committee will convene soon to start its work. The committee can appoint up to three more members  to bridge diversity and expertise gaps.


We are also in the process of creating the meta pages with more details regarding the election and selection processes. I will follow-up in this thread when they are available.


If you are interested in engaging with the Movement Charter drafting process, follow the updates on Meta and join the Telegram group.


With thanks from the Movement Strategy and Governance team
